    wade fishing shoe or boot.

    When fluke fishing in the surf I like to stand in the ocean with the water up to my knees wearing shorts. I am looking for a shoe or boot that will keep out sand. Any recommendations ?

    surf's up.

    Decided to fish the ocean beach in Gateway Recreational Park in Great Kills Staten Island. I fished the last 3 hours of the incoming tide and the wind was negligible. It took about an hour to figure out what the fatties wanted ( 1/2 ounce ball jig head tipped with 4" gulp swimming mullet in any...

    Surf experiment

    Went out for the first time this season and decided to check out the effectiveness of fishbites and gulp. Hit the surf for the last hour of the incoming and the first two hours of the outgoing tide. Winds were light and the water was flat. Baited a high low rig with clam fishbites and waited...

    Leak proof plastic bags

    Hi. I know that this issue has been addressed before but I was wondering if there are leak proof plastic bags that can be used for storing gulp. Using canisters are not practicable when you are surf fishing and are using a small surf bag to hold your tackle. A Google search brought up small...

    Surf Booties

    Hi. For years I would wade into the ocean barefooted to fish without a thought. I guess I got more concerned about this in recent years. The thought of stepping on a rusted hook or a used hypodermic needle changed my thinking. Has anyone had any experience with a short surf boot that works...

    where have all the surf fisherman gone?

    For those who love the surf: How about some action on this forum? How about some fishing reports? I understand that things are difficult now, but a few hours in the fresh air and sunshine will soothe the soul.

    I’m a happy man

    Hi. Hit the Staten Island surf this morning. Fished the last 3 hrs of the incoming tide using fresh bunker chunks for bait. Not to many other fisherman out this morning and the few boats that I saw stayed close to the beach because of the dense fog. Had one big run off but the fish spit...

    Hit the Surf

    Hi. Was able to get out for a couple of hours this afternoon at the turn of the tide. Fished the beach at Great Kills Park for the first outing of the season. Lots of surfcasters around all practicing proper social distancing. Had to use gulp sand and blood worms on a high low rig. The striper...
